The Eureka Loft is located at the Scottsdale Public Library—Civic Center Library

The Eureka Loft is a collaborative workspace that was created via a partnership between the Scottsdale Public Library (Civic Center Library) and Arizona State University.

The SCoSS meets the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm. The next café is on Tuesday, October 15th. The following is information about the upcoming October café:

Title: Approaching Infinite Computing on Petascale Day 2013

Summary: Many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) disciplines are currently experiencing exponential growth thanks in large part to High Performance Computing (HPC). The reliability of the computing “roadmap” has made the future of computing relatively safe to predict. The October 15th cafe will provide an overview of the current state of our petascale computing world and the how it’s possible exascale computing will be reached by the end of this decade. Beyond 2020, Infinite Computing for all is a distinct possibility.

Part of the Green Apple Day of Service, this event includes a demonstration of the Solar Thermal Living Lab project, a solar thermal hot water heating system that uses roof-mounted flat plate and evacuated tubes solar collectors to heat the cafeterias hot water supply. Lunch is served via solar oven.
